A certain ANSP in the UK encourages controllers to 'retire' early as they're at the top of the payscale and the company THINKS that people at the lower end of the payscale (and in all probability with far less experience) can do the job just as well and they can thereby save some money.
And there was me thinking that it was a great scheme negotiated and fought for by the union all those years ago ?
Damn those managers and their cunning plots. They have hoodwinked us again in to giving up work early and going out and living life while we still can, rather than hanging on trying to do radar in our dottage and thinking we are better than those 30 year old plus monkeys with still at least 20 years or more to work.
They've done us up like kippers, haven't they ?
